Sonu got emotional as he shared the video on his social media accounts, and wrote, "Thank you so much to my lovely fans who I proudly call my family for doing this for me. I don't deserve this kind of love, but your kindness keeps me going to do better. Humbled Love you all."

It comes after Sonu revealed that his scenes in Acharya had to be reworked as Chiranjeevi wasn't sure if people would accept him getting hit in action scenes in the Koratala Siva directorial. Sonu's character Basava in the film is a wannabe-MLA who controls the fictional temple village Dharmasthali with various illegal activities, until he faces rebellion from Chiranjeevi's Acharya and Ram Charan's Siddha.

Sonu, who previously mentioned that he is getting different roles due to his philanthropic efforts during and post coronavirus pandemic, told indianexpress.com, “I feel it is very difficult to see me (in a negative role). All the producers, directors and writers have spoken about how they cannot see me or imagine me in a negative role anymore. I remember I started shooting for two films before Covid-19, including Acharya. And they had to rework a little bit on a few scenes."

As per Hindustan Times review of Acharya, the film ends up as director Koratala Siva's 'weakest work and as one of those movies you’d only want to watch because it has both Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan together.' The film also stars Pooja Hegde and Jisshu Sengupta.
